Might & Magic: Heroes VI – Q&A Week

New week on the official website: Ubisoft answers the most pressing questions before the game's release. The first question and answer:

• You often asked whether the new skill system degrades the strategic aspect of HoMM VI.

Julien Pirou, lead level designer:

• We have already reduced the effectiveness of healing abilities, listening to feedback from beta testers, and the game was delayed until October 13th for better balancing of abilities and creatures. But, of course, balancing a "Strategy" game is an ongoing process, and we will continue to improve it in future updates, including the day-one patch. Of course, if you lose the appeal of a faction, it is probably because you have not yet mastered the faction's unique strategy.

The company also warns that the beta test will end soon (September 28th at 6:00 PM Paris time, which corresponds to 8:00 PM Moscow time). The game is scheduled for release on the thirteenth of October.
